          <P>
            This method is the latest and greatest method from Tom Barry.  This new 
						method improves on some of the older methods in two important ways.
						<ol>
						<li>Where there is motion, the bob pixels are generated by looking along 
						a series of diagonals as well as simple the ones above and below.</li>
						<li>Also when there motion the code will try and spot slowly moving objects
						and will try and maintain the detail on those objects.</li>
						</ol> 
          </P>
          <P>
						The combined effect of these two searches is a big jump in picture quality
						and also a big jump in CPU usage.
          </P>

          </P>
          <P>
            Everybody with a fast machine.  1 GHz is about the minimum required to use this
						method. 
          </P>

          </P>
          <P>
            There are only two options to set for this method:
						<ol>
						<li>Search Effort: This setting will control how much CPU is used by
						the method by controlling how big an area the method will search looking for 
						matches.  A Search effort (SE) of 0 means that all pixels are smart bobbed and is 
						not recommended. SE = 1 does no motion compensation, but doesn benefit from
						the diagonal bob interpolation.  SE > 1 starts to do true MoComp with increasing
						CPU demands.  You should use the highest value that allows you to run any other
						filters etc withuot dropped frames.</li>
						<li>Use Strange Bob:  This was some test code added by John Adcock to try and reduce the
						number of errors in the diagonal searches.  It is not recommended.</li>
						</ol>
          </P>
